TWD: Chocolate Cream Tart

This week's pick was made by Kim of Scrumptious Photography. I've been a little overloaded with chocolate this month but I knew I had to give this a try. Luckily next month there is only one recipe with chocolate. I love chocolate but I need some variety sometimes!

This was very chocolaty. The filling reminded me of chocolate pudding. I only thought that the crust was ok. Might have to do with the fact that I used my last eggs up and didn't have one left for it. So instead I just added enough whole milk for it to come together. I really need to get a food processor some day. Then I wouldn't mind making crusts as much.

I bet the tart would be really good with the whipped cream topping but I forgot to get some at the store so I just left it off. I'm sure I would have liked the tart a little more if I didn't leave it off. I would have help cut some of the chocolate. This will just be a lesson learned. Don't wait until the last minute and make sure I have everything I need!

It's always fun each week to hear the little adventures that go on in everyones' kitchens getting these desserts to press! LOL. You can't tell by looking at your that it wasn't smooth sailing! It looks perfect!
